SUBMISSION ON PYRMONT PENINSULA PLACE STRATEGY

The NSW Department of Planning is currently considering a draft Pyrmont Peninsula Place Strategy that will determine a 20 year vision and planning framework for the Pyrmont Peninsula.

Greens MP Jamie Parker says the strategy would reshape the area into a mass of redevelopment including large pockets of CBD scale towers, without adequate provision of community facilities, affordable housing and open green space. It has the potential to transform the harbour foreshore from Darling Harbour to Blackwattle Bay into a glorified retail and shopping precinct.

FERRIES AT ANNANDALE AND WEST BALMAIN

Imagine hopping on a ferry at Annandale or West Balmain and being in the heart of the city within minutes.

In 2020, we won the campaign for a Glebe ferry. Now, we have the opportunity to connect more of our area to the ferry network. New ferries at Annandale and West Balmain will provide a faster, smarter route into the city without adding to the traffic on our roads.

Both Labor and the Liberals want to build more polluting and destructive tollways across Sydney. But we have costed a comprehensive plan for a world-class public transport system that makes getting around our city fast and easy.

Dear Transport Minister,

New inner west ferry services would provide efficient, fast and environmentally sound travel to and from the area for workers, tourists, students, pensioners and the general public.

I therefore ask that the Government build on the success of the Blackwattle Bay ferry and establish a ferry service at Rozelle Bay for the Annandale area and reinstate the ferry at West Balmain.
